Job Description

At REGENT, we’re on a mission to revolutionize regional transportation between coastal cities. We're not just building vehicles, we're creating a new category of transportation: the seaglider. These groundbreaking wing-in-ground-effect craft travel just above the water’s surface, combining the speed of an airplane with the low operating costs of a boat. Capable of 180 miles at 180 mph on today's battery tech (and up to 400 miles with next-gen batteries), seagliders will unlock fast, affordable, and sustainable coastal transit for passengers and cargo - connecting cities, islands, and communities like never before. Backed by leading investors and powered by a team of passionate, forward-thinking engineers, builders, and operators, we’re now scaling from a breakthrough prototype to full production - and building the team to make it happen.

Job Responsibility

  • Own aerodynamic design and analysis across sizing, detailed design, and validation for Viceroy
  • Build, automate, and maintain CFD workflows (e.g., Star-CCM+, ANSYS Fluent, Flow360, Numeca) integrated with CAD and geometry parameterization
  • Analyze complex phenomena such as blown lift systems, flow separation, fluid–structure interaction, and ground effect in low-altitude, near-surface regimes
  • Plan and interpret wind tunnel, on-water, and flight tests
  • translate CFD and test data into performance models, lookup tables, and inputs for controls and structures
  • Document best practices, coach junior engineers in CFD and aero design, and present trade studies and recommendations to cross-functional and non-technical stakeholders

Requirements

  • Expertise in aerodynamic design, analysis, and testing for aircraft or advanced mobility systems
  • Track record owning at least one complex aerodynamic design from concept through CFD and test validation
  • Experienced in Aerospace, Mechanical, or related engineering field
  • Expert-level CFD and meshing skills on HPC (Star-CCM+, ANSYS Fluent, Flow360, Numeca
  • ANSA, Pointwise, or similar) and proficiency with CAD-integrated workflows (Rhino, NX, SolidWorks, Catia)
  • Deep understanding of unsteady and near-surface flows (blown wings, separation, ground effect, fluid–structure interaction) and how to turn results into actionable performance data
  • Strong communication and mentorship skills, with the ability to guide junior engineers and align with structures, controls, propulsion, and certification

Nice to have

experience with wing-in-ground-effect vehicles, hydrofoil–airfoil coupling, MDO/automation, and regulatory or certification-facing aero work

What we offer

  • Competitive compensation including a robust equity incentive plan
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance - we cover 100% of your premiums
  • 401(k) with company matching
  • Generous flexible time off, paid parental leave, and company-wide holiday breaks
  • Relocation packages available
  • Daily, free catered lunches
  • Learning & professional development opportunities
